Danny Brown Gets in Twitter Beef With Pretty Lights, Will Perform in Nashville Without Him

Danny Brown has been on an extensive touring cicruit in 2013. With his album, Old, in stores this Tuesday, he was booked to open up for Pretty Lights, who just released A Color Map Of The Sun this summer, on a couple of spot dates this weekend. However, after the first of two dates in St. Louis, things have taken a turn for the worst, resulting in the two artists performing at separate venues tonight in Nashville.

According to Danny, the show was “trash” due to an inept soundman. According to Pretty Lights, Danny’s set was weak because in his anger at the lack of crowd response, he allegedly threw his microphone into the crowd. While the two accounts varied online, the resulting barbs exchanged between the two men on Twitter led to Danny insisting that he would not perform at tonight’s Pretty Lights concert in Nashville.

However, Danny decided that he would go to Nashville despite seemingly having the day off. At first he was just scouring the city for some barbeque. However, shortly after the fued simmered down somewhat, Danny announced that he now had a performance slated for tonight at a different venue from Greer Stadium, where Pretty Lights is performing. Instead, Danny will take the stage at Seen Nashville around 1AM.

Brown’s next tour date appears to be an October 25 performance at the Aragon Entertainment Center in Chicago. Following that he will be in Las Vegas for the Life Is Beautiful Festival on October 27. Who else is performing for that festival? Pretty Lights, of course. (Complex)

Eminem – "Survival" [VIDEO]

Eminem is gearing up to release his highly anticipated album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, next month. But before then, the veteran offers up a visual for "Survival."

The track originally appeared in a commercial for Call Of Duty: Ghosts towards the end of summer. Staying consistent, Eminem incorporates game footage into scenes shot in an abandoned warehouse. There, the Detroit native flexes his wit and lyrical prowess in a song that's a clear homage to the Beastie Boys.

And that's no mistake, because Eminem is working closely with the legendary Rick Rubin, who served as an executive producer on The Marshall Mathers LP 2.

Expect more the the Shady Records CEO, as his upcoming eighth studio LP releases November 5. Check out the video for "Survival" below.

Danny Brown – "Dope Song" [VIDEO]

With Old officially in stores, Danny Brown celebrates its release by debuting a visual for "Dope Song." In it, the Fool's Gold rapper gets trippy with friends in his old neighborhood in Detroit.

Brown cruises the motor city in the back of a classic Cadillac before posting up in front of his childhood home. Within moment, it's clear that he still gets love in his old stomping grounds.

Scenes are distorted with an infrared effect that gives the treatment a very druggy look. But then again, the song's title is "Dope Song."

Fans can purchase Old via iTunes. The project dons features ScHoolboy Q, Freddie Gibbs, A$AP Rocky, Ab-Soul and more. See the video for "Dope Song" below, courtesy of Complex.
